Blah blah blah blah blah.... actually, the following is my favorite quote from the Washington Post's article about the alert:
[Attorney General John Ashcroft] said that while the information was not specific, the FBI was issuing the alert to the American people because"they can make good judgements and can understand this kind of information." (emphasis mine)
No they fucking can't - at what point has the American public as a whole displayed good judgement about all of this? Stockpiling Cipro and standing by like sheep while the government torches civil liberties? (Jesus, I sound like a conspiracy theorist paranoid....)
There is no "information" to be understood. I wish they wouldn't release shit like this unless they have something specific to say.
Rough translation - its just a reminder that Things Are Different Now, like we needed hammered home yet again....
